None of the prior arts introduces a golf swing position training aid kitso simple and increase the impact distance at the same time when used ina game.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is purpose of the current application to provide a golf swingposition training aid kit that can be used in a game for tee off too.The portable golf swing position training aid kit of the currentapplication is comprised of 1) a foot stepping panel, 2) a verticalmember foldably connected to the foot stepping panel by a hinge, and 3)a saddle shape leg supporter attached on the upper end of the verticalmember. The golf swing position training aid kit of the currentapplication is made of light material, including but not limited to aplastic, wood and metal. The foot stepping plate is 90 cm long 45 cmwide. The length of the vertical member is in the range of 35 cm to 40cm. The length of the saddle type leg supporter is 15 cm and the widthis 15 cm. A soft material such as urethane rubber, silicon rubber,animal leather, and artificial leather is added to the inner surface ofthe saddle shape leg supporter. When a golfer use this kit at tee-off,the flying distance of the golf ball increases by stopping.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the portable golf swing positiontraining aid kit (1) of the current application. The portable golf swingposition training aid kit (1) of the current application is comprised ofa foot stepping panel (2), a vertical member (3) foldably connected tothe foot stepping panel (2) by a hinge (4), and a saddle shape legsupporter (5) attached on the upper end of the vertical member (3). Theportable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the currentapplication is made of light material, including but not limited to aplastic, wood and metal. The foot stepping plate (2) is 90 cm long 45 cmwide. The length of the vertical member (3) is in the range of 35 cm to40 cm. This length is to place the saddle type leg supporter (5)underneath of the knee (6) of the player (7). The length of the saddletype leg supporter (5) is 15 cm and the width is 15 cm.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the vertical member (3) and FIG. 3 is a rearview thereof. The vertical member (3) is comprised of a front pane(3-1), a saddle shape leg supporter (5) is attached thereon, a hingesupporter (3-2), two straight plates (3-3) connecting the hingesupporter (3-2) and the front panel (3-1), a front panel supporter (3-4)that prevents turn over of the vertical member (3) to the opposite sideof the hinge (4), and two short straight plates (3-5) reinforcing thestraight plates (3-3) at the bottom thereof.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged drawing of the saddle shape leg support (5). Theleg support (5) is attached at the top end of the vertical member (3) tohold the leg (8) of the player (7). The knee (6) of the player (7) islocated above the leg support (5). This is to maximize the rotatingmomentum of the swing.

FIG. 5 is a schematic drawing of the rotational momentum of a golfplaner's swing. According to golf swing theory, the power transferred tothe golf ball at the impact moment is known as generated from threedifferent parts of a golf player (7). The three parts are leg partsection (9), waist part section (10), and shoulder part section (11).When a player (7) turns his body to hit a golf ball (12) in front ofhim, the ideal degrees [(14), (15), and (16)] between the front line(13) and rays [(17), (18), and (19)] created by each body part section[(9), (10), and (11)] are 15 degree, 30 degree and 45 degree. Themomentum power transferred to the golf ball from each body part sectionof an average adults male golfer are 2.5-horse power from the leg partsection (9), 1.5-horse power from the waist part section (10), and1.25-horse power (11) from the shoulder part section. As indicated themaximum power can be generated from the leg part section (9). The bestway of transfer this power to the golf ball (12) is to stop the rotationof each part section at the front line (13).

The portable golf swing position training aid kit (1) of the currentapplication stops the rotation of the leg part section (9) of the golfplayer (7) at the front line (13) to maximize the transfer of the power.At the same time the saddle shape leg supporter (5) meets the leg of theplayer (7) below the knee (6) to allow the rotation of the waist partsection (10) even after the leg part section (9) is stopped and allowthe shoulder part section (11) to watch the flying of the golf ball (12)hit.

Tee off with this portable kit increases the flying distance of the golfball and repeated practice of golf swing with this portable kit adjuststhe swing position of the golf player. Eventually, the player will enjoylong flying distance of his golf ball.

1. A portable golf swing position training aid kit to increase theflying distance of a impacted golf ball by stopping rotation of the legpart section at the front line that is comprised of 1) a foot steppingpanel of 90 cm long 45 cm wide, 2) a vertical member that is in therange of 35 cm to 40 cm depends on the height of the user and foldablyconnected to the foot stepping panel by a hinge, and 3) a saddle shapeleg supporter of 15 cm long and 15cm wide and attached on the upper endof the vertical member.
 2. A portable golf swing position training aidkit of claim 1, wherein the stepping panel and vertical member are madeof plastic.
 3. A portable golf swing position training aid kit of claim1, wherein the inner side of the saddle shape leg supporter is made ofrubber.
